| Score | Meaning | What the Experts See |

| 9-10 | Exceptional | Structured, direct, developmental, commitments with deadlines, barrel-building |
| 7-8 | Strong | Good instincts, mostly focused, minor gaps in structure or follow-through |
| 5-6 | Needs Work | Right direction but too conversational, vague commitments, no review of prior items |
| 3-4 | Weak | No structure, no accountability, all agreement, no challenge |
| 1-2 | Not a 1-on-1 | Status update disguised as meeting, no coaching or development |
When reviewing, also look for patterns from PRIOR reviews (if they exist in 04-outputs/{person}/):
